The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to explore AI-driven digital twin technologies for future-ready infrastructure planning. This collaboration marks a shift in telecom’s role from mere connectivity to providing data-driven insights for smarter, more adaptive urban development, transport, and healthcare solutions. With AI-powered simulations, global standards development, and real-time citizen engagement, this initiative aims to shape the future of sustainable infrastructure.
